Becoming a charity trustee at Emmaus Mossley is an opportunity to apply and develop your skillset for a worthwhile cause. This voluntary role offers variety, responsibility and satisfaction, especially seeing people overcome challenges to achieve their personal goals.
The Emmaus Mossley Board of Trustees meets six times a year. In addition to full trustee meetings, some trustees are members of our three committees that report to the board. Trustees also have the opportunity to get involved in other ways, including at events, external events and projects.
If you share our passion and principles for helping those most in need and have sufficient time and energy, please explore the trustee role and register your interest.
Emmaus Mossley supports people who have experienced homelessness by providing them with a home, tailored support and life-changing opportunities.

Join our Board. Shape our future.
Our mission is simple but vital: to inspire and delight people of all ages with the life, work, and legacy of William Shakespeare. We are seeking to appoint new Trustees to join our Executive Board, helping to safeguard Shakespeare’s heritage and inspire future generations around the world.
As a Trustee, you will help shape the future of an independent charity with international reach. This is a chance to:
· Play a central role in caring for and making accessible Shakespeare’s historic homes and collections
· Support innovative learning programmes and research
· Help us thrive as a charity that relies on visitors, donors, and supporters.
We are especially interested in candidates with expertise in commercial development, finance/governance, fundraising and philanthropy, strategic arts/heritage management, property and asset management, digital engagement or brand stewardship.
We value curiosity, collaboration and a strong commitment to making Shakespeare’s legacy accessible to all. We particularly welcome applications from individuals who can help broaden the diversity of our Board.

ECT is looking for new trustees to join our existing enthusiastic and dedicated board who share our ambition to provide top-quality, safe, affordable and accessible transport services for every community we serve. The range of perspectives and experience diversity brings is an asset to ECT and we want to create an inclusive, welcoming environment. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and particularly those who share our values but may be new to a role as a trustee.
Our Board is forging exciting plans for the future, alongside our top-notch team of committed, professional managers, drivers, assistants and administrators. As new trustees, you will help steer our charity on the next stage of its important journey.
We are based in Greenford, West London, and also operate in Dorset and Cheshire. There are no specific skills required, and we are very keen to hear from people new to the role of being a trustee who are active in their local communities and we are determined to provide better representation for the people we support. ECT has been going for over 30 years and we do a lot of work with young people, the elderly, community groups and charities but we are also very keen to see what other services we might be able to offer.
We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have experience in finance, charity management or governance, transport or have a personal connection in some way to community transport but above all else, we want you to feel motivated to be involved and make a difference.
